Meetings

Chapter 4

- That one time became two more times.
- Last three classes of the day they all had together
- After the incident during lunch the rest of the day ran smoothly. (Other then that one teacher who likes to give homework on the first day of school)
- Bells chime announcing the end
- Students rush out of their classes flooding the halls with a buzz
- Kids run out side to greet their waiting parents as others go to their lockers deciding to stick around
- Some throw material into their locker, others grab books, or chit chat with friends as if they "haven't seen them all day"
- This is finally the time the three newbies split apart each having a different destination
- Angelo and Asahi are the first to be outside in front of the school waiting at the pick up area

Asahi: (Nervously stands next to Angelo taking small glances at him. Pondering something on his mind.)

Angelo: (Hands in pockets he notices Asahi's subtle looks. Getting annoyed by this he confronts him.) If ya have somethin to say, say it.

Asahi: (Flinching at Angelos harsh tone he try's to relax.) Um, I just w-wanted to thank you a-again for helping us. (He sticks his hand out toward Angelo.) Thank you.

Angelo: (He stares at Asahi's hand hesitating before grabbing it firmly shaking it a few times.) Ya welcome bu- (He stops, hearing his name being yelled out from a far.)

Asahi: (A frightened expression.)W-Who is that? She looks furious. (He sees a short plump women with brunette hair and silver streaks throughout.)

Angelo: (Turning to the voice he recognizes the women storming his way. His face turns into one of fear.) I'm goin to get it. (Asahi gives him a look of sympathy knowing what's about to happen and takes a few steps back.)

Mrs. Bianchi: ANGELO BIANCHI! (She reaches a hand out to Angelos head, breathing fire.)

Angelo: (He waves his hands in front of himself to try and calm her. It doesn't work.) Mamma please I ca- (Before he can say anymore his mother pinches his ear dragging him away.) Ow, ow, ow, but mamAAH! (She pinches a little harder.)

Mrs. Bianchi: (Not caring about making a scene she starts yelling at him.) No buts Angelo! How many times I have to tell you, no more fighting, huh?! It's not healthy! (Angelos face turns red with embarrassment as he struggles to keep up with her.) You are in a lot of trou- (A distant voice shatters her scolding.)

Thomas: (Walking out the doors he witnesses Angelo being yelled at and breaks into a run.) WAIT! PLEASE! (Then as he passes a speechless Asahi on the way he grabs ahold of his wrist bringing him along.)

Asahi: (Protesting and tumbling trying to keep up.) Tommie this isn't a good idea!

Thomas: Nonsense! (He winks at Asahi who's only reply is a sigh.)

Mrs. Bianchi: (As the boys approach she knits her brows.) Who are they?

Angelo: (Puzzled at the situation it takes him a minute to reply.) Their the new kids along with me. Tommie and Asahi.

Thomas: Hi! (Smiling infectiously, he puts his hand out for a shake.) Nice to meet you!

Asahi: Hello, pleasure to meet you. (Tiny smile graces his lips shaking her hand after.)

Mrs. Bianchi: My what charming boys. (Chuckling softy a smile adorns her rosy lips. Her anger long forgot.) Well it's nice to meet the both of you. I'm Mrs. Bianchi, this naughty boys mother. (She says this squeezing Angelos cheek.)
